2) Good Response, Great Responsibility! |
58th AGM Year 2013, 22 March 2013
In line with the world’s desire to GO GREEN, to combat illegal trading of natural resources, TEAM initiated the introduction of European Forestry Institute (EFI) to our members, as well as Protem Secretariat of FLEGT VPA and the Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) during the recent 58th Annual General Meeting.
Relevant issues such as implementation of FLEGT licences within the EU Timber Regulation spectrum, status of MYTLAS in terms of a living document and our Ministry’s effort in the establishment of a negotiating team to have in-depth discussions and negotiations with the Board of Experts in the EU, were brought to our members’ attention. Two comprehensive presentations were given on the above issues without losing touch of our traditional support.
After the presentations which took about an hour, followed by an active interaction Q & A session, the silence among members synchronized with their understanding to provide appropriate documentation to prove themselves as legal suppliers, as well as to prove the legality of timber they source and supply.

3) The Malaysian Timber Legality Assurance System (MYTLAS) by MTIB |
In view of the confusing situation on the documents required by various importers in the EU, your Association has been holding numerous meetings with the Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB), FLEGT VPA Protem Secretariat and even the European Timber Trade Federation (ETTF) concerning the Malaysian Timber Legality Assurance System (MYTLAS) license.
The MYTLAS was developed in compliance with the Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS), Annex 2 under the FLEGT VPA. The TLAS has been negotiated between the EU Board of Experts and our Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC). It contains 24 tables which addresses various aspects of legality. Therefore, the chances of the EU accepting the MYTLAS are high.
In line with this, you are encouraged to promote MYTLAS to your respective buyers. The MYTLAS License has been issued by MTIB since 1 February 2013 for all timber shipments to the EU.
For more details, please visit the website of MTIB: www.mtib.gov.my.
